Several Job Openings Will Be Made Available by the German Automaker to Meet the High Demand in the Electric Car Market

With the increase in global demand for electric cars and believing in the end of the global semiconductor crisis, the German automaker BMW will open more than 5,000 job openings for the segment. BMW will hire more than 5,000 new employees still in 2022, according to a statement made by Oliver Zipse, the company’s CEO. The CEO, who has led the automaker since 2019, stated that BMW is at an advanced stage, with its assembly lines ready to meet the new demands of the automotive market.

Over 1 Million Electric Cars Sold by BMW

According to company data, BMW has sold over 1 million electric car models, including hybrids. The automaker aims to reach the milestone of 2 million sales of 100% electric cars by 2025. For this to happen, it will be important to hire more than 5,000 employees in the field. It is still unknown how BMW intends to select the workers, but it is true that between 5,000 and 6,000 job openings will be available at the company.

German Automaker’s View on the Semiconductor Crisis That Affected the Automotive Sector in Recent Years

For most of the automaker’s plans to be realized and for several important goals to be met, it is essential that the semiconductor supply crisis comes to an end, which had a very negative impact on the development and production capacity of the automotive industry.

Zipse’s stance, so far, is one of great optimism and perseverance, as he believes that by the end of 2022 the semiconductor crisis will be over and everything will soon return to normal.

Impacts of the Pandemic on the Production of Electric and Hybrid Cars

The CEO of the German automaker reported that, despite the semiconductor crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic—when car production had to halt for a time—the demand for electric car models remains very high.

Zipse states that compact models intended for executives, such as the i4 and ultra-luxurious SUV models like the iX, are in high demand, but have been out of stock at the automaker for months.

Upcoming BMW Launches

For the new year of 2022, BMW plans to launch new versions of electric cars in the 7 series of their sedans. Zipse hopes that the new models will meet the expectations of car enthusiasts, as the new lines will aim to replicate the same performance as the existing lines.

Although there are no plans to completely abandon fossil fuel-powered vehicles, BMW believes that by 2030, around 50% of sales will be of 100% electric cars, but this will depend on rigorous planning, production capacity, and the automaker’s infrastructure to handle the high demand from consumers seeking vehicles of this type.

The motorcycle division of the automaker attempted to create something new like the Concept CE 02, which is why you may be forgiven for not knowing whether it is a motorcycle or a scooter. The multinational BMW aimed to combine essential features of both genres and transform them into a new means of fast urban commuting, with zero emissions.

Thanks to the small motor, you can accelerate quickly and reach a maximum speed of 90 km/h. BMW has not revealed details about the battery size, but it is strong enough to provide a range of 90 kilometers. This should be more than sufficient for a day’s travel in most cities.
